Post Blog Update

Thank you to those who have written and asked how I'm doing and for the nomination in the Homeschool Blog Awards. I'm glad to see the awards continue, Heather and crew are doing an excellent job!
As for me, life is good and I'm doing well.
The article from the Washington Post, Pearls before breakfast speaks volumes about how we live our lives. (It's long but read the whole article.)
When I was blogging, in my busyness, I was beginning to miss the "music" that was all around me. I am hearing it once again AND I have the time to stop and listen. It isn't Joshua Bell, but my own children playing their instruments, singing while on a swing, or the "music" of the mixing bowls clanging as we bake bread together. It's all music and I don't want to miss another note.

Yup, that was one amazing article. I am so glad you are hearing the music now! I can't say that I don't miss you on here, but I *think* I understand. I am hearing music around here too, although a lot of it is way off key. Maybe that is a clue to the subject of my recent post. Sigh.
Praying for some joyful noise,
Blessings to you!

I applaud your decision. It is hard to admit when something we love is actually becoming a hinderance to the life God intends for us. I look forward to the article. God bless you all.

I'd like to think that I would have stopped to listen, especially if my children showed interest, but I am pretty goal-focused most of the time! Maybe this article will help me slow down a bit next time!

I am most grateful that you pointed me to that article. It was impressed upon me that this is what I ve done in the past concerning God's Word, in my life and in my homeschool. The noise of academics can crowd out the still, small voice of God. As can the many activities, comings and goings. I've been working on changing my priorities there.
It was a long read, but time well spent.

Hi, My name is Ginger and I'm new to HB, but I really like it alot! I think that's great that you recognize the "music" in your home as your children do different things! More homes should be like that!
I will begin homeschooling Aleshia, my kindergartener this fall with Alpha Omega books. God bless you,
Ginger
